“WALK WITH INTEGRITY”

Romans 13:13 — “Let us walk honestly, as in the day…”

Paul identifies several behaviors that have no place in the life of a believer. Rioting, drunkenness, sexual immorality, sensual living, strife, and envy destroy a Christian’s testimony and dishonor the name of Christ. These works belong to darkness, not to those who have been redeemed. 

One area Paul addresses plainly is drunkenness. While many attempt to justify flirting with intoxicating substances, the danger lies in becoming impaired. Adrian Rogers wisely observed that “there is no way to sin safely.” His warning reminds believers that what begins with perceived liberty can easily become destructive compromise (Rogers). 

Integrity means refusing to give sin a foothold. Whether through impure living, sinful speech, jealousy, or conflict, believers are called to pursue lives that reflect the holiness of Christ.

The Christian’s testimony is strengthened when private character matches public profession.

Call to Action
Walk with integrity before God and others. Refuse every practice that diminishes your testimony for Christ.
